Studies on Biosecured Shrimp Culture of Penaeus monodon (Fabricius, 1798) - Abstract
Aquaculture has been the fastest growing food production sector in the world among other sectors over the past 30 years. However, in some cases the rapid growth of the aquaculture sector has out stripped planning and regulation environmental impact and marketing have become unavoidably overriding issues in aquaculture development. At the same time demand for product quality and safety increased significantly. There is an urgent need in aquaculture to develop microbial control strategies, since outbreaks are recognized as important constraints to aquaculture production and since the development of antibiotic resistance has become a matter of growing concern. One of the alternatives to antimicrobials in disease control could be the use of probiotic bacteria as microbial control agents. This work to study the use of probiotic bacteria in the culture of larval aquatic organisms which may improve the survival rates of these larvae also stimulates their immune.
